My essential travelling companion -my hp pavilion 2000x laptop

Advantages: Small and powerful , tablet form and touch screen, speedy, two batteries
Disadvantages: a bit heavy for travelling

...Hewlett Packard Pavilion tx 2000 I have had this little laptop for over a year now. I feel it was quite expensive compared to what is available now; I think I paid about £600 from Staples for the laptop and three year warranty. It is not exactly a net book but it is a small laptop. The screen size is 12.5? diagonally and the keyboard is a decent size with a laptop type mouse pad in the middle front. I have weighed this (very important when travelling) and it weighs just under 2kg with one battery and just over that with the larger battery. The CD drive is also removable and can be replaced with an empty plastic cover which also reduces weight when travelling. It is small, neat, shiny black with rounded corners and silver keyboard. The screen swivels round completely and will lie flat as a tablet style over the keyboard. TABLET...

Review of HP Pavilion tx2000

Too many gimmicks or the real HP?

Advantages: Light, sytlish, fast, dual core
Disadvantages: Battery life

...Currys. The selection here was limited although the staff were far more helpful and I really did get the impression that they were genuine, though I'm sure this was just a great sales technique. We then stopped off at Comet, the selection was wonderful with prices ranging from £300 to £2000, so at least some of them were within my budget. However this was where we saw the HP Pavilion dv2000 again and this time I couldn't resist, I had to have it and even my knowledgable boyfriend agreed it was a good buy. I bought the laptop for £649, slightly over my designated bidget but still a very good deal. Comet gave me a 12 month guarntee which is always nice and as per usual when buing this type of product they tried to sell me additional insurance which I promptly declined. However I did pick up one other deal that day. For an additional £40 I...

the HP Pavilion entertainment.

Advantages: great entertainment laptop
Disadvantages: portability

...This laptop is the HP Pavilion dv9820ea Entertainment. The Hp Pavilion models are made mainly for gaiming, watching movies on and various other entertainment needs whilst not compromising the ability to od serious work on these as well. One thing that is compromised though is the portability, entertainment laptops are made to keep at home and not really to carry about with you all the time, so whilst the specification may look good, don?t expect one of these to be very portable. The Pavilion dv9820ea combines two colours, silver and black in order to make it look very up to date and futuristic even. It appears nice and rounded, and its shell makes the laptop feel very stable and robust. The installed ram on this laptop is great, it has a massive 3gb which is the main reason this laptop runs so fast, also the AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile...

Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv7z

Advantages: Cool design, fairly easy to transport, fast.
Disadvantages: Expensive.

...This notebook really stood out from many of the others I have owned. It has an incredible design and really looks cool, I am proud to use this in public. I have also found it very easy to transport being about the right size to fit into an average bag and weighing around 7.57 pounds. It runs on windows vista, something I was in two minds about when I bought the notepad. One the one hand, windows vista is a very fast, very efficient operating system. On the other hand it won't support alot of old software, so keep that in mind if you plan on buying this notebook. It has 4 USB ports, a full size keyboard with a numeric pad. It also has some pretty good sterospeakers as well as many optional extras such as 56k modem, bluetooth and glass that covers the LCD screen from edge to edge, "giving the appearance of a never-ending display...

Advantages: Less than four hundred Pounds.
Disadvantages: Slightly outdated for Performance.

...HP Pavillion g6061ea Review of Hewlett Packard Pavilion Media Center Notebook A Hewlett Packard notebook using microsoft vista home premium Operating System. This is a quite good notebook for beginners and entry level Notebook. What I like about this Notebook, is that it is a quite decent specifications allowing me, to surf Online, play games, write letters and compose e mails on a multi tasking basis. The combination of amd's Dual Core processing ability and its useful one hundred Giga byte storage space allows me to carry out most basic notebook tasks fairly well. The amd athlon sixty four times two, core processing unit, with a maximum running speed of one point nine Giga hertz which can easily be overclocked. Here what I am trying to say is that the speed of processor is not that good. By comparison this specification...

HP Pavilion dv5

Advantages: Good quality laptop, great appearance
Disadvantages: Games are a no-no.

...A well designed, high quality affordable laptop, the HP pavilion dv5 doesn't fail to please in looks, performance or price. In terms of look and design, flashy is a good word for it. It has a glossy black case which shines in the light, then you open it. The keyboard-surround is split horizontally: the bottom half is very light silver with a white check pattern, and the upper half perforated silver plastic. Around the edge of the laptop, there is a chrome-effect strip which sparkles and shimmers. Even the mouse pad has a finish that is so reflective you can see your face in it. This is the 'bling-bling' of the laptop world. It also feels pretty solid, I don't think you would be able to break it easily and I have faith in it's durability and robustness. It is also quite light, weighing 2.65kg, not bad for a laptop it's size. Ok...

HP Compaq Business Notebook 6530b

Advantages: its fast, stylish and very portable
Disadvantages: could be smaller for portability

...day. Another great thing about this is the sheer size of the storage space inside. The Eee PC hardly had any on the basic model and so carrying about a spare memory stick was pretty much essential. This Hp Business Compaq will certainly not require any more space though as its got a impressive 160 gb already built in. The small size of the notebook isn’t sacrificing speeds either as it will still reach 5400 rpm, the average of the normal sized laptops too. The screen size isn’t that small either, so its not limiting your workability. It offers a 14.1 TFT display and is a good quality screen with a good 1280 x 800 resolution. The only thing that let down some of HP’s other notebooks was the battery life, however this one doesn’t at all. It offers a fantastic 6.25 hours which is well up there with some...

Will HP be waiting on the Pavilion?

Advantages: Speedy, solid, reliable, HP
Disadvantages: A budget laptop

...Well the Acer packed in and with the warranty the store gave us credit (apparently the Acer that we had had become obselete and there was none in stock). So with the £400 or so store credit my mother wisely (and under her own guidance as far as I know) picked the HP Pavilion DV6000 (as far as I'm aware theirs no difference between this and the T model though if there is, I'm sorry). Quite why My mother (darling mother of mine) decided to ever get the pile of fecial matter that Acer claimed was a laptop I was never quite to sure, as everything in it came to peices, the keys flew off, the screen was...well dead, the AV charge wire was..erm..well dead too. Why couldn't she have gone after a real solid, well worked peice of kit like this first time round Im not sure. So HP's...what do I think of them? Well I'd basically take a bricky out...

HP Pavilion zv5368EA Laptop Review

Advantages: Powerful, good as a desktop replacement
Disadvantages: Poor battery life, heavy and noisy

...I bought this laptop in 2004 and it is still working reasonably well. The laptop is very powerful (compared to other laptops available at the time) and fast allowing the use of graphics and processor intensive programs like games. It has a 3GHz Pentium 4 processor which I'm sure was designed for desktops as it has poor battery life and is very noisy. It is also quite heavy so I would say its overall portability is poor. The screen size is 15.4" and it comes with 512MB of RAM which was enough for a while but I eventually upgraded. The reliability is OK but the CD/DVD drive in mine has always had problems reading and writing to some types of discs (reads and writes to CD-R and DVD+RW fine but not with CD-RW or DVD+R). The battery can now only operate for a few minutes (probably because I left it charged for long periods of time...
